    Best TV Series?

    So I've decided to start watching The Wire again, which is the closest thing to perfection I have ever seen on TV.

    Anyone reckon they can come up with something that can beat it?

    Edit: Ooh, now possible to change thread titles, nice one Steve

    I'm watching The Sopranos at the moment; Not quite as good as the Wire but close!

    24 is damn good as well!

    deadwood (also HBO) is also apparently genius. The Sopranos is pretty awesome, I'm on season 3 of the wire at the moment and I've watched all of the Sopranos. The Sopranos is just unbelievably cool.

    The Sopranos was the closest that I have seen anything come to The Wire.

    But Deadwood looks pretty interesting, and it's only £30... Might be worth a try

    Re: Best TV Series?

    I got a bit bored of the Wire about half way through Season 3 - my attention was stolen by House. So House gets my vote, at least for the best TV series that I've seen vaguely recently.

    Definitely worth a mention. Any episode from the previous season (5) concerned with the main story arc was excellent.

    Also quite like True Blood and can’t wait for Dexter to resume.

    For comedies, Modern Family definitely gets my vote, followed by The Big Bang Theory.
